From September 29 to October 3, the crypto market witnessed a historic week fueled by institutional interest. Spot Bitcoin ETF recorded $3.24 billion in net inflows, marking the second-highest weekly performance ever. During the same period, Ethereum spot ETF attracted $1.3 billion in net inflows, with all nine funds closing positively.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs Achieve Second-Highest Record
According to Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart, the $3.24 billion weekly inflow into Bitcoin ETF created a “intense momentum.” Nate Geraci noted that total net inflows have surpassed $60 billion since launch, making it the second-strongest week to date.
BlackRock’s IBIT and ETHA products received $10 billion in inflows within just a month, quickly climbing the ranks. Experts highlighted that U.S. government shutdown risks and a weaker dollar drove investors toward safe-haven assets, further boosting demand for Bitcoin ETF.
Bitcoin hit ATHs last night after the ETFs went wild last week with +$3.3b in a week, $24b for year (also notable $IBIT and $ETHA w $10b for month, rank 3rd and 4th overall) and now $60b lifetime (new high water mark). Pretty good. No way @WhalePanda can still be pissed, right? pic.twitter.com/xHH3yjp4U7

Ethereum ETFs Show Strong Success
While Bitcoin ETFs led the spotlight, Ethereum spot ETF also posted $1.3 billion in net inflows during the same week. Impressively, all nine Ethereum ETFs closed in positive territory, reflecting strong investor confidence in Ethereum. Analyst James Seyffart emphasized that Bitcoin ETFs will remain ahead in performance if they stay net positive, but Ethereum is seeing growing institutional interest.
BTC Hits New All-Time High
Bitcoin surged to $125,690, reaching a new all-time high. At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $123,880, up 11% in a week.
Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas noted that Bitcoin is now largely held by more stable investors, which could lead to steadier upward movements rather than extreme volatility. This shift underscores Bitcoin’s evolution into an alternative asset class.
